The Board of the Long Term Infrastructure Investors Association has appointed Mr. François Bergère the new Executive Director.

Mr. Bergère joins LTIIA from the World Bank where he has been the Program Manager for the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF) since 2014. His prior experience includes senior roles with the French Ministry of Finance, where he was in charge of the PPP Task Force; Galaxy Fund; Asian Mezzanine Infrastructure Fund; and Caisse des Dépôts Group, focused on infrastructure and project finance and investment management.

His predecessor, Mr. Eugene Zhuchenko, will work closely with Mr. Bergère and the Board to ensure a smooth handover.

Thierry Déau, LTIIA Chairman and CEO of Meridiam said: “Over the recent years LTIIA has achieved a lot in growing its recognition, membership base and delivering value to the industry. We want to thank Eugene for his incredible work and achievements and wish François every success in taking the Association through the next steps of this journey.”
